KUCHING: Irresponsible people have been throwing rubbish
inside a manhole at the Kota Sentosa Commercial area and traders there who saw
it requested Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) Public Complaints Bureau
chief, Wilfred Yap to have the manhole covered as the debris are blocking the
surrounding drains. The manhole was also covered with grasses.
Yap went to inspect and assess the situation with the community
leader and officers of the public health section of MPP and also to see what
can be done to resolve the problem raised by them.
Workers from MPP engineering and road maintenance section have now
replaced the manhole cover and MPP is now in the process of getting its
contractor to clear the grass of the road verge and also to clear the drains of
rubbish.
Yap thanked MPP officers for their speedy action in solving the
problem and would like to advise the traders and owners of business premises
there to cooperate and be considerate in future and not to throw rubbish or
organic materials and waste into drains so as not to impede the water flow.
From his observation, Yap said he hoped that shophouse owners in Kota
Sentosa area would comply with the building by-laws and would only carry out
renovation works like covering up drains with cement after obtaining approval
from MPP to avoid uneven levels of drains which could impede water flow and
cause blockages.
